But then it is also not any thing that it should not charged as they have to take on the issue of backup support and infrastructure management.. which needs a financial concerns...

(And if you are interested, I have responded elsewhere, such as on Slashdot, on the reasoning behind this business model experiment. It is a serious experiment, but an experiment nevertheless.)

Sun would not want to piss off the open source community. The same for rumors about Sun abondoning Linux and focusing only on Solaris with MySQL. That would just be stupid. And Sun is not stupid.
